When is it okay? (line jumping)

Spend at least 14 days in Cedar Point in a season, and I assure you that you will get the "just" of who is doing what.

The people going to the vending machine, well there are 2 possibilities. You could go ride Wicked Twisted, and Maxair, and meetup with your friends in line for Raptor with a fresh pop from a vending machine right around Raptor and no one in line knows you just came from the vending machine (I've wondered that). Than you obviously see people go to the DJ or vending machine and come back (you are usually right by the machines at this time).

Than...you have the people who claim they have a kid in the front of the line and just start yelling like "Amanda, Josh!" and use that as an excuse to get to up the line. I do not see the results of these rides.

Also you should have seen what I did to the last guy who took a parking spot I wanted.

Nothing actually, didn't care because there was one right next to it.

Never.

I agree with what a lot of other people on here have said.

Honestly if it is just one or two people in question I don't really mind. I understand that people may get separated from their group entering the line, or may have needed to stop in the bathroom, etc. I honestly don't even care if someone from a group leaves the line to get food or a drink. As long as they aren't trying to cheat the system I don't really have a problem with it.

I do have a problem though with anyone trying to cheat the system and/or big groups. Personally, I don't think its worth it to say anything to the offenders because it will often result in confrontation. I would hover, if it were ever bad enough, mention something to an employee.

This is how you stop them. Take a pillow case and fill it with bars of soap and beat the crap out of them! (Stepbrothers)

But issn't leaving the line for food and drink (not counting the vending machines in line) cheating the system? Once you're in line, you're in line. For the most part, its not like you don't have an idea how long the wait will be before you get in line.

Unless the ride breaks down, of course. In which case, once you leave the line, you can't come back anyway.

In my opinion I don't give a rats booty if a guy goes to the Lemon Chill stand and comes back in. He is still getting food / drink. He's just not getting one from the line. Maybe he is allergic to pepsi..mountain dew.....AND WATER, and for Christ's sake Lemon Chill is the only thing his diet allows him to have.

I don't want to be the one to tell him no...you cannot have that Lemon Chill sir.

This rule also...varies. If you are a single rider you can't go get a cheezburga and come back in the line and be like hey remember me? Glad you guys are getting ready to enter the platform.

I just got back from Kalahari this weekend and 12 year olds were line jumping there! We were at at base of a water slide line entrance and this girl just slips right in front of me and my friend. There was a 2 second gap in front of us, meaning the time it took for the people in front to move up and before we moved up, and she pops up right there......

^...And you did what...?

Hopefully nothing, because it's not worth the hassle when the person who pops up in front of you will be down to the bottom of the slide by the time it takes to muster up the courage to make a passive-aggressive comment, so you might as well just leave it alone.

I don't take crap when it comes to line jumping. Me and my friend were next for the front seat of the Blue Streak and a woman asked if she can get in front of us to ride with here friend WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. I calmly denied her request and she starts fliping out on my I just chuckled a bit.

I think that so many people ar erude when they try to jump the line. I am the type of person who if someone was getting a drink or using the bathroom and ask ask me nicely if they could meet back up with their friends or family, then I don;t mind, but if someone is rude about it, then I too will deny them!
